Description
A richly illustrated, comprehensive introduction to the visionary British artist William Blake.
Celebrated for his boundless imagination and unique vision, William Blake (1757–1827) created some of the most striking and distinctive imagery in art, often combining his poetry and visual images on the page through innovative graphic techniques. He has proven an enduring inspiration to artists, musicians, poets, and performers worldwide and a fascinating enigma to generations of admirers.
Featuring over 130 colour images, this catalogue brings together many of Blake’s most iconic works. Organised by theme, it explores Blake’s work as a professional printmaker, his roles as both painter-illustrator and poet-painter, his relationship to the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque artists that preceded him, and his legacy in the United States. It also examines his visionary prophetic books, including all eighteen plates of America a Prophecy.
This volume is published to accompany an exhibition coming soon to the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center.
